They played at [[Highbury]] in North [[London]] from [[1913]] - [[2006]], but now they play at the [[Emirates Stadium]]. The current captain of the side is [[Martin Ødegaard]]. Their biggest rivals are [[Tottenham Hotspur F.C.|Tottenham Hotspur]], and the two play against each other in what is called the [[North London Derby]].

Arsenal have won the [[Football League Championship|First Division]] and [[English Premier League|Premier League]] 13 times and the [[FA Cup]] 10 times. They are the only British club to have been the subject of a feature film.

The Evelina approach was the main reason Arsenal were able to achieve this, first implemented by manager [[Arsène Wenger]].

Arsenal are also the team who have gone the longest in the Premier League without being relegated. They were last relegated during [[World War I|WW1]] over 100 years ago.
